If you’re a mom, and especially if you’re a blogger-mom, there are times you almost want to give up having your photo taken. It’s difficult, when the kids are there with you… the photographer (my hubby) has to pay as much attention to them, as he does his subject (me, in this case). I think […]

///BOG Found this treasure via “Whats Your Tale, Nightingale“. This set of photos by Philip White entitled “Bog” is something special. I mean, it REALLY is beautiful! The model and hair, and UGH, don’t even get me started on that fabulous green dress selectively featured at the top of my collage. The photography and styling […]

Trying to develop my skill for espresso-making began with the same journey and desire to make the perfect Café Latte. I’ve always ordered the same thing: A classic Caramel Latte, and I’m quite sure that’s what I’ll always order until I am a little old woman. Well, we all know how outrageously expensive those types […]

I’ve been talking a lot about my hope to get organized this year… Whether it’s here on the blog, or the other sections of the site, or various social media… and even my home. Now that Ayla has gotten pretty independent and has a well established collection of toys and belongings, she’s starting to really […]

Some people say they have […]

I’m all about quirky details, but not so much about expensive brand names that you sometimes see carry sweaters like this *cough,cough Anthropologie cough,cough*. So I bought some plain ol’ pom poms from JoAnnes (any craft […]

This batch of “mismatched moments” is not so much a round-up of different sessions, but certainly some of the most memorable moments in our lives. Precious keepsakes. It snowed here… quite a bit. 10″ followed by another 3″-5″. It snowed more during this drop than it did last winter all together. I can honestly say […]

Happy New Year!!! Wow… 2013. I can’t believe it. Flying cars will finally happen this year, I just know it. Ok, so my plans were yet again foiled for a more elaborate post in honor of this event… such as a DIY tutorial or an outfit post. I guess it’ll just have to wait. Boo. […]
